I've logged around fifty hours on the camera, personally, but due to the fact that I got it used, I am not sure how much it has on it altogether (when I got it, it did not seem like it was used much). I mainly shot a short documentary and a few basketball games with it. It works wonderfully and I've taken good care of it, but as I just bought an AG-DVX100a, I need to sell this one.
I used Panasonic, Sony, and Maxell tapes.

If you'd like some stills of the footage I took (though I'm guessing you are familiar with the good quality of the camera), I can send you some.
